Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
In this taut, exciting episode, the Enterprise trespasses Melkotian space and is punished in a unique fashion. Kirk (William Shatner), Spock (Leonard Nimoy), McCoy (DeForest Kelley), Scotty (James Doohan), and Chekov (Walter Koenig) are all transported to the planet's eerie surface, where they are trapped in a re-creation of 1881 Tombstone and mistaken for the Clanton brothers, doomed principals in the infamous gunfight at the OK Corral.

Despite their efforts to avoid trouble, Kirk and company can't seem to avoid their fateful duel with the Earp brothers and Doc Holliday (Sam Gilman). When Chekov is shot dead by Morgan Earp (Rex Holman), the danger is all too clear. The strange Twilight Zone look and atmosphere of this episode--tumbleweeds and Old West facades popping up in a black void--grips one's imagination and doesn't let go until the very end. Fans of Captain Kirk's street-fighting style will especially enjoy the thrilling climax. --Tom Keogh

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Beat Me Up, Pardner!
This is a moody 3rd season episode that has a surrealistic quality -- a quality that makes sense in the context of the story. It is not, as some claim, simply an attempt to shoot an episode of "Gunsmoke." After an alien species -- the Melkotians -- say to the Enterprise crew "Go away, we don't want any," they punish the Earthlings by making the bridge crew (Kirk, Spock, and co.) refight the shootout at the OK Corral... apparently to arrange their deaths.

There's an fascinating issue ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Kirk & Co. manage to tick off yet another species
Starfleet sends the Enterprise to make contact with the Melkotians "at any cost." There is no reason stated for this urgency, just that no one has recorded contact with them. As they approach Melkotian space, they encounter a probe that communicates with all of them in their own language, telepathically. The telepathic message tells them to turn around and leave because they are tresspassing on Melkotian space - and they are told, "this will be your only warning."

Kirk has no respect ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Surreal set & excellent performances make it one of the best
A major question that will have to be addressed when humans meet new species will be convincing them that our intentions are indeed peaceful. If the creatures can read our historical records and perhaps our minds, they will find ample evidence that we are not to be trusted. Our history is replete with the callous destruction of each other as well as any species deemed unworthy. Our minds are full of irrational fears, prejudices and impulses to destroy that which we don't immediately understand.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Welcome to season three
Spectre of the Gun was the first third season episode to be produced, and one need watch no more than the teaser to sense that the show would have a very different feel during the 1968-1969 season. First off, those shiny, synthetic-looking uniforms that replaced the corderoys of the first two seasons. A minor point, yes, but perhaps a metaphor for other changes. The third season shows have a slick quality about them, an emphasis of style over substance. There is a sense that everyone is somehow in the ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Galactic Cowboy
The Earps VS. Kirk's crew

In this one we get one of those surreal budget crunched episodes. That's one where the producers can't afford any lavish sets and costumes so the script has to center on something cheap to produce. The story is about Kirk and co. being taken to another dimension to fight the Earps. It's all an illusion by some other worldly being who wants to study humanity. How many times have we seen that plot? It's a good episode and we get to see Kirk in a moment where he's ... Read More
